Fibre Optic Cable ShiverPeaks BS77903 3m ST Orange

The ShiverPeaks BS77903 3m ST Orange is a 3-metre OM2 multimode fibre optic cable with ST connectors on both ends and a 50 µm core diameter. It supports full duplex communication for simultaneous bidirectional data transfer and is intended for networking environments where reliable, relatively short-distance multimode fibre links are required. The orange jacket and ST connector form factor make the cable suitable for structured cabling, patch panels, and equipment with ST interfaces.

Advantages

This OM2 fibre cable provides predictable multimode performance for local area networks and structured cabling. The 50 µm core supports common multimode transceivers and enables stable light coupling for short to medium reach links. ST connectors on both ends offer easy push-and-twist mating and are widely compatible with equipment that uses bayonet-style fibre terminations. The 3 metre length balances flexibility and minimal slack for tidy installations.

Suitable for

• Network patching between switches, routers, and patch panels within data closets
• Connecting multimode transceivers and SFP modules with ST interfaces
• Campus or building backbone links over short to medium distances
• Laboratory or test setups requiring reliable multimode fibre links

Key specifications

• Length: 3 metres
• Fibre type: Multimode OM2
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: ST on both ends
• Mode: Full duplex
• Jacket colour: Orange

How to use

Inspect connectors and cable jacket for damage before installation. Align and insert the ST connector into the corresponding ST receptacle, then secure with the bayonet twist to ensure proper mating. Use both ends to establish a full duplex link between devices or patch panels. Avoid tight bends and protect the fibre from sharp kinks; maintain the manufacturer's minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. For best signal integrity, keep connectors clean and use appropriate fibre cleaning tools when necessary.

Usage recommendations

Store and route the cable away from sources of mechanical stress and electromagnetic interference. For installations in dense patching areas, label both ends to simplify identification. When connecting to active equipment, confirm compatibility of multimode transceivers and verify link operation with appropriate testing equipment.
